[plt-scheme] exceptions and extensions

Thanks for the pointer. As you suspected everything works fine with plain
C++. The problem occurs when the try/catch block is managed code. Replacing
the previous sample with:

void t()
{
    throw 0;
}

#pragma unmanaged
Scheme_Object *test(int argc, Scheme_Object **argv)
{
    try
    {
        t();
    }
    catch (...)
    {
        scheme_signal_error("uups");
    }
    return scheme_void;
}
#pragma managed

Produces the desired result.
